I have persistent upper lip swelling 8 weeks after bullhorn lip lift. Thoughts?

Asked By:luckylife

I am 8wks after bullhorn lip lift. Deep PDS sutures used to tack down to periosteum. Still have significant upper lip swelling that hasn't improved even after injection of 5FU a week ago. My surgeon's website says swelling should be COMPLETELY gone by 6 weeks and he previously told me the lip would drop 2-3 mm by 4-6 wks. He now tells me there is nothing wrong & I am being impatient. Something seems very wrong given the utter lack of even the slightest improvement.
